Does this machine have a push-button thread cutter?

No I don't believe it does have a push button thread cutter. the only machine I know of in this price range that has a push button thread cutter is a brother se 400 which is a 4 inch embroidery sewing machine.

No, although it has many fancy stitches. I love this machine - it's very quiet, smooth and simple to operate.

Yes it does, a little contraption on the side, which pokes the thread through the needle

I had a problem with the alignment of the push button latch which took some work to mate with the hole in the shaft. After messing around with it for a few hours I was able to use the cutter.

No. This is a very basic machine. I regret having bought it as an extra machine.

Yes, the sewing machine can sew with a variety of needle sizes and thread thicknesses including standard thread found at fabric stores. Thread tension will have to be adjusted to appropriately handle the lighter threads. Also, recognize that this machine will have a much heavier "industrial" feel to it than the standard household sewing machine and it offers only straight and zig-zag stitches. Although the needles can easily be found online, your daughter may not be able to find the appropriate needles at her local fabric store. A more refined and customized version of this machine is sold by Sail Rite and is called the LSZ1. The Sail Rite website will include numerous videos which will fully detail the capabilities of this machine.

It does come with one that is also the pressure regulator. I put an extra air drier on the air line to help keep drier air coming into the machine. This will make the consumables last longer and therefore operate cheaper. I suggest you buy extra consumables when you purchase your Cutter.

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

It does. You just won't be able to use the automatic threader. It doesn't come with a dedicated spool pin, but there are workarounds for that. The universal foot should work fine.

Would like to know as well. I lost pin for cutter first time using it during cleanup

Yes, it does. However, I don't recommend it. It jams too much and the place where you empty the paper remnants has so small an opening that the paper has a tendency to become jammed inside the machine. Believe it or not I recommend a machine that I bought thru LTD Commodities for 20.00. It works much better and can also hole punch holes on one side and binding machine holes on the other. It is also has a much bigger handle.

Yes it does. I might add that I use this machine every week to clean my brass and it has operated beautifully.

Yes mine broke the first time I used it. The little knob that you push to reverse went flying across the living room never to be found {probably accidentally vacuumed it up}. This thing was a piece of junk and I got my money back right away. I would steer clear of this product if you are a potential buyer...even for light use it does no better than a flimsy handheld unit. Spend a little more and get a REAL sewing machine.

Yes, you push the same button when the cutting is done. It takes a second to stop and release.

Yes it does. It is ready for a spool and then attach to the machine and start trimming.

No, it doesn't have threads but it does have a blade like clamp that might hold onto a thread but if you need something special like that I wouldn't take a change

If you mean free-motion quilting, then yes, it does. There is a switch to lower the feed dogs, and the manual has instructions included. I can't say how well it works, though; I own a Juki TL-98Q that I have used for quilting for several years, and it is a much heavier-duty machine. It only does straight stitch, though, so the Brother is better for piecework with fancy stitching.
